The proceedings of the first biennial conference of the educational

associations of the world have been published in two volumes under the editorship. of Mr. G. A. Pringle: (World Education, 2 vols, 10s. 6d., from 47 Moray Place,- Edinburgh.) The subjects dealt with in these 900 pages range far and wide. They include : " In Teaching History, can the National and International Aspects be Harmonized ? " " An International Library Scheme," " The Social Aspect of, Physical Culture," " Health Education," and a score of other matters that warrant the attention of teachers. A eon-. densation of these two volumes into one would have been- possible, but it was perhaps better that the speeches of the delegates should be given vest atim. These volumes can be recommended to all who are concerned with education.
